"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

Every time I think thing can’t get worse, the appointees can’t get worse, Trump says ‘hold my beer.’ I am stunned, even by Trump standards, that Dan Bongino, a man even Fox got rid of, is now the new deputy director of the FBI. We are so effed.

The confusion surrounding the detention of migrants at Guantánamo and their sudden deportation shouldn’t be mistaken for a broader lack of planning. Donald Trump intends to systematically expand the role of the military in his immigration crackdown.

OPINION: What’s most stunning about U.S. conservative Christians’ abandonment of Ukraine is that American evangelicalism has the most to lose if Russia succeeds.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
